McCain won among moderates (moderate Republicans? Is there such a thing?), veterans, those concerned about the economy, Hispanics and senior citizens. Romney won among conservatives, including social conservatives, it may be presumed from the abortion question, and those opposed to easier route for those here illegally.

For those interested, evangelicals were split between Huckabee, McCain, and Romney.

One could question Rudy’s strategy. Certainly, in my view, tactical mistakes have been made by Romney, Huckabee, Fred Thompson and Giuliani in not contesting certain races. McCain has been in them all.

He also had pertinent thoughts on immigration, but I’ll link to that in an upcoming post.

That bumper sticker thing made its way into Waukesha blogs again this week. Jeff at Five Points like Seth at In Effect, thought Mike Plaisted’s post mirrored his thoughts on the subject. Like Wiggy last week, I lost interest after several shots at the intelligence/honesty of the right of center cheddarsphere. If Seth’s and Jeff’s sentiments are echoed in Plaisted’s screed, I have less hope for rational debate in the blogospere than I usually have. Now I have read Seth and Jeff enough to know that they would not have worded their opposition the way Plaisted did. In fact Jeff’s explanation afterward was sane and to the point without invective. I wouldn’t display either the bumper sticker on my car? Neither one expresses my sentiments. The debate does continue more rationally at Hobo Springs where Sancho’s reposting of Jeff’s post led to a discussion with silent e.

Tim Rock led the way toward that tolerance with a wise post on the Christmas and Christians in America. And I will reply “Happy Holidays.” Let the Christmas “wars” die and enjoy the season.

Pete pointed us toward a new service called Hulu. It’s an online video service in Beta testing. Looks interesting.

Rudolph W. Giuliani scored a coup today by winning the support of Pat Robertson, who, as one of the nation’s best-known televangelists, could help Mr. Giuliani reassure Republicans who are wary of his support for abortion rights and gay rights.

Yes, the dude says some off-the-wall things, but he also has the ear of a large segment of the Christian Right. This has got to be a blow to Romney and Huckabee.

Also, former candidate Sam Brownback endorsed John McCain for the Republican nomination.

“John McCain has spent a lifetime standing up for human rights around the world, including a consistent 24-year pro-life record of protecting the rights of the unborn.”
